Trusted bath resealing in Lower Kilburn

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath resealing in Lower Kilburn without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Kilburn

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Kilburn use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Lower Kilburn

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our full price list.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Signs you need bath resealing in Lower Kilburn

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Questions from Lower Kilburn

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lower Kilburn.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
